pathname
¦ noun Computing a description of where an item is to be found in a hierarchy of directories.
pathname
<file system> (Or "path") The specification of a node (file or
directory) in a hierarchical file system. The path is
usually specified by listing the nodes top-down, separating
the directories by the pathname separator ("/" in Unix,
"" in MS-DOS).
A pathname may be an absolute pathname or a {relative
pathname}. The part of the pathname of a file after the last
separator is called the basename.

Uniform Naming Convention
<networking> (UNC) Used in IBM PC networking to completely
specify a directory on a file server.
The basic format is:
servernamesharename
where "servername" is the hostname of a network file server,
and "sharename" is the name of a networked or shared
directory. Note this is not the same as the conventional
MS-DOS "C:windows" directory name. E.g.
server1dave
might be set up to point to
C:usershomedirsdave
on a server called "server1".
It is possible to execute a program using this convention
without having to specifically link a drive, by running:
serversharedirectoryprogram.exe
The undocumented DOS command, TRUENAME can be used to find
out the UNC name of a file or directory on a network drive.

Path (computing)
A path is a string of characters used to uniquely identify a location in a directory structure. It is composed by following the directory tree hierarchy in which components, separated by a delimiting character, represent each directory. The delimiting character is most commonly the slash ("/"), the backslash character ("\"), or colon (":"), though some operating systems may use a different delimiter. Paths are used extensively in computer science to represent the directory/file relationships common in modern operating systems and are essential in the construction of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). Resources can be represented by either absolute or relative paths.
